Built to order for each car. Our team quotes the price for your car. 1-year warranty · Installed by installers and dealers
Who DCS-2 is for
Rebound (30 settings) and Compression (15 settings) adjust separately. Monotube construction with a nitrogen-charged external reservoir (a separate tank connected to the shock).
Ride height is set on the threaded body (Full Tap), so it changes without changing spring preload.
- Good for: competition, circuit use and pro-level users who want separate Rebound and Compression adjustment
- Maybe not for: family cars used mainly for everyday driving (see ST)
Good for
- Cars used in competition or on a circuit, where Rebound and Compression need to be adjusted separately
- Drivers who like to adjust step by step and keep notes to find the right setting for their car
- Setting ride height without changing spring preload
Maybe not for
- A family car used mainly for everyday driving → see ST

DCS-2 questions
What does 2-way adjustable mean?
A shock controls two movements: compression, when it is pushed in (for example when the wheel rides over a bump), and rebound, when it extends again.
DCS-2 lets you set the damping for each movement separately, so you can fine-tune more than with a single adjuster.
How many compression settings are there?
- The Compression adjuster sits on the reservoir. The Rebound adjuster sits at the top of the shock and has 30 settings.
Does changing ride height make it firmer?
DCS-2 ride height is set on the threaded body (Full Tap), so changing the height does not change spring preload.
The ride can still change if there is less compression travel left or the wheel angles change. Our guide to ride height and comfort explains more.
Can I use DCS-2 every day?
DCS-2 is positioned for competition, circuit use and pro-level users. If the car is mainly a family car for everyday driving, ST matches that use better.
Tell us how you drive and we will give you free setup advice.
How do I look after the reservoir?
Keep it clean, and check regularly for oil marks and for secure mounting.
The nitrogen pressure in the reservoir can be adjusted and refilled, but only by a technician with the proper equipment. Never open the reservoir, release the nitrogen or refill it yourself.
If you notice anything unusual, contact our after-sales team on DGR Thailand’s LINE Official account.
Where do I get it installed, and do I need an alignment?
At an installer or dealer. DGR Thailand sells parts only and does not install.
Align the wheels after installation and after every height change.
Does the price include installation?
No. The price our team quotes is the retail price of the parts. Agree installation costs with your installer.
How long is the warranty?
1 year from the installation date. Register your warranty and make claims through our after-sales team on LINE Official.
